IMHO. I don't think so. Celtic culture had deeply roots regardless Romans. Besides them Beowulf was written more later of Roman epoch. Of course Romans effected on Europe and Britain but it is not necessary arrogates an absolute majority of the culture successes to Romans. Beowulf was written in Celtic style.

I'm not sure but maybe it will better if words "today", "yestarday" to be differ at little by colour or type from other text.

That's all good folks. How about including some translations!
O' keey!
Dum spiro, spero --- While there's life there's hope.
Sol omnibus lucet ---- The sun shines for all.
or something like that

Thanks! It was great present!

I inclined to believe that Manzikert was the beginning of the Byzantine Empire end. It was big misfortune for Empire and it opened the run of bad luck.

Generally there are many legends about pelasgians. One of them is about very long life interval (more then 200 years) of this nation. But I think it was related with calendar's features of pelasgians. One of the theory said that the year of pelasgians was equal to interval between harvests. In this case their long life is really possible. I know Homer mentioned in passing about this nation.

I'm considering to migrate to Russia and become a Bearded Intelligentsia
If say honesty I live in Moscow and never saw the persons like this. Of course maybe some drunkards only.
I was in Moscow once as a college kid. Met a couple of those guys. They don't like Americans. But then, they don't seem to like much of anything except vodka.But the rest of the city was beautiful and cultured. Plenty of young, pretty girls looking for a Western sugar daddy.
Just don't drink the water. The water there is bad. That's why they substitute vodka for water over there.
LOL. You are right. Of course. I'm young girl and study in college and have a job besides this. I haven't free time for vodka and a Western sugar daddy. This is one of worthless rubbish which is beneath my notice. I think your opinion about Moscow is one-sided. It is a pity!

How you chose your profession? (Or going to choose) what kind of sides of it attracted your attention?
I chose archaeology because it was a tradition of my family. I spent my childhood on the digs between ancient rarities and it was fun for me always.

1. Does anyone recognize this source?
This text is strange and the source of information is obscure for me.
Did anyone ever recover the artifacts from the lake? If not, I suggest a fishing trip with a little sonar.lol. Try do it! A few years ago I found an ancient vase at the bottom of the intermittent river. Turned out the vase was very old (8 BC). Dare!

This is excellent list of moves. Most of them I like too. I could add only:

Thanks! Of course I read Di Bello Gallico and remember about Veneti fleet. As far as I know this was only one record about Celtic fleet. But I sure not only Veneti had the fleet. The Britain and Irish Celts had some boats too. But I cannot find any description of their boats.

lol. I have English - Russian keyboard and this name look another on my screen. Without little "oo". Transcription ( leek).

If Caesar is so accurate, would this make him one of the greatest of ancient historians?
If you read Caesar book you could note that it look like fiction and really very interesting. Wonderful language and reach imagination. Good author in one word. Historian...? There are many interesting facts in his book but I sure a part of them really fiction. But this can say about other historians too.
-
I look for any information about Celtic fleet. I know they didn't use rowing boats and steered with sails only. Anyone know about it more?
-
Well. Let me ask too.
If Christianity is religion of peace and Islamic is peaceful religion why we have religion wars now?
If they cannot be in peace together this mean the both religions are evils for people.
Well... the religios question is one of more danger in the modern world. I notes it in simple life too. It is very hard to live in country with any religion if you have other.

This is interesting question. I noted that Caesar made Celts more ordinary then in really life. Of course I cannot know about really Celts but there are archaeological finds and they can say anything about them. And I found a few mistakes (or overstatement)
Caesar wrote that Celts couldn

I think the safty of Crimea/Cheronesis(sp?) came from the fortification of the cities, the general topology and the prosperity of the land. The kingdom that once ruled this land was a strong one. My guess is Mithridates got taxes and grain supplies from this area as a part of the boon of his little empire.
Yes. Besides that the Greek colonies in Crimea provided Mithridates with fleet. Greeks always were skilled ship-builder. As to fortification in Crimea they weren't earnest. Only later in Genoa time the fortifications will be more well-founded.

What does the Ukraine have to do with anything? The Pontic Empire included northern Asia Minor (Pontus, Bithynia, western Armenia), Asia Provincia, Galacia and the Cheronsis at its greatest extent.
The Pontic Empire included Crimea (the part of Ucraine). This was main part of Pontic Empire. Mithridates used it like safety zone and place where he could to recruit scythians and sarmatians for pontic army. Many years pontic dynasties were on Bosporan throne.
The topology of Ukraine is primarily steepe, and I'm guessing that a navy was involved. Did he have a marine contengent?The topology of Crimea are hills with dense forest and forbidding rocks along of coastline. There are a lot of good bays between rocks. Mithridates had a navy of course and he used it in the Black Sea.

Saw it in TV news. The words
"People haven't been change" sound very actually. Vandals were in the past too.
But this is one of the versions.

I know the little part of "lost" manuscripts of Livy was found but the condition of them is very bad and historians cannot read them.
A several years ago I read about new finds of Livy's books and this was really sensation but this manuscript was a bad later copy of Livy's works.
And although there is a version that Livy didn't write other books beside known. In this case why other ancient authors linked to Livy's book?

You could also try the Armenian Catholic Church (Also known as Armenian Orthodox) They're the oldest Christian nation and their patriach is/always has been independent. Ethiopia has some pretty interesting old school churches as well.
As I know Armenian Chirch is Orthodox only and it is news for me that you named it Catholic. Really it is one of oldest Orthodox Chirchs in the world with interesting traditions but other east religions effect to Armenian Chirch in present time. Maybe it is right. I'm not specialist in religion questions.
